Oh my bad, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant higher standard of education as in University Degree, not a direct comparison of schooling level compared to the woman.

Haha, no shit.

My girlfriend is already established in her career field making a high enough salary to support a family. I still have a year of school left.

We've discussed that if she was to get pregnant, I would be the stay at home parent and take care of things. Being as I'm in pursuit of a career in writing, it might work out perfectly.

It doesn't hurt to be a guy that knows how to cook and obsessively clean. It's 2011, and the economy has only added to eliminating gender roles in an (average) family household.

"House husbands" FTW!

Originally posted by wienerschnitzel Oh you KNOW that I was going to be all over this.. lol. I have always wanted to be a housewife, and I enjoy being one, but I feel like I should add it is a lot of work to be a GOOD one. Anyone can sit on their ass all day wearing sweatpants and watch shitty soap operas. I take care of my 2 kids which is a lot of work in itself, but also spend hours everyday cleaning the house, cooking, doing laundry ect. I do all of it. Eli works long hours, so I take care of everything else, with the exception of hom BBQ'ing and giving our son his bath and putting him to bed. If eli's had a long day at work, I'll put out clean clothes and get a shower ready for when he gets home (he works in dirty plants most the time). No one does my job better then me, I couldn't pay someone to do it. And I don't take it for granted that eli makes enough to support our family while I stay at home. When the kids are older I do intend on going back to work.

lol look at me on my fucking high horse. i forgot i posted this. clearly a moment when i should have gone outside for a cigarette instead...if i still smoked.

Nothing wrong with taking pride in your work, especially when it comes to your children.

I mean, unless your kids turn out to be utter cretins like OrangestO.

Thanks for continuing to make mention of me in your posts. I'm internally flattered.

You're going to need that internal flattery when your tits begin to sag and your wife leaves you for a more exciting woman.
